About our tours:

The 11-acre Brooklyn facility features a Recycling Education Center with a theater, interactive exhibits, a lunch space, outdoor patio, and observation deck overlooking our Material Recovery Facility. Visitors will experience the state-of-the-art sorting process, view hundreds of tons of recyclables that travel to our facility from all over New York City, and learn how SMR processes 1,000 tons of materials each day. We are also host to sustainability features including the city's first commercial-scale wind turbine, a large solar array, native plantings, storm water management, and marine habitats.

The virtual tours feature photos, videos and graphics depicting our facility's operations and the entire recycling process. All tours are hosted live by one of our recycling educators and will include time for Q and A.
